25 April 2013, 13:30 | Comments | The New Evangelization: Baptizing/Rebaptizing a CultureAndrew Sorokowski’s column entitled “Rebaptizing Rus’” is both timely and valuable from several points of view.22 April 2013, 07:48 | Andrew Sorokowski’s column | Rebaptizing Rus’Is there something odd about celebrating the 1025th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus’? Isn’t it enough to observe bigger, “rounder” dates?

QUAERITUR: Sister starts Mass and Father shows up around the Offertory

Thumbnail

I generally like one question at a time, but this was so… bizzare that it needs more attention.From a reader:This weekend, Father was having a series of talks during his Masses which spanned about fifteen minutes, and so he was late for one at another Church. The parish sister started the Mass with the full (including greeting) introductory rites and Liturgy of the Word

Airports and . . . Train Stations? Where Freedom is Put Out to Pasture

Canada’s airports may not exactly meet all the qualifications of a gulag archipelago, but they are arguably our single most significant institutional reminder of liberty lost.Those who find such a claim slightly excessive should spend extensive time travelling, as I do, by VIA Rail and then return to air travel via one of our major landing strips.The contrast is experienced with particular sharpness by routinely coming and going from Toronto’s downtown Union Station, then abruptly submitting to the horrors of Pearson Penitentiary Airport situated, entirely appropriately, in the nightmare of modernity that is Mississauga.But ultimately it’s not a matter of geography, architecture, or airport/airline personnel. It’s the airport as institution that is emblematic of freedom foregone.When I refer to airports as institutions, by the way, I mean the word as it is commonly used on the nameplates of penal institutes rather than in its sense of organizations of established activity such as religious orders, democratic bodies etc

Fear Going On

Thumbnail

A running coach I trained with years ago had a wonderful reality check for anyone considering running a marathon.Part one required prospective marathoners to drive exactly 42.1 kilometres from their houses, park safely, get out of the car and start walking—not running—home.Part two required paying attention to the first moment when the thought occurred: “This is crazy. What am I doing out here?”Part three required being truthful about how it felt knowing such a thought would probably first occur with, oh, about another 41.1 kilometres still to go.Despite the incredible growth in the popularity of marathon running over the past 15 years—major races routinely attract 35,000-plus entrants—the vast majority of people use such a test to quite sensibly stop at the “this is crazy” part and do something else with their lives

Ah, Shut Up. This is Mass, It may be in English but It’s Mass

The major trouble with bilingual parishes is that there are always two masses, to accomodate the different languages. Which is fine.
